October 2019 *OUTLAND* SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP

[nlp]

My application got an update today! Still waiting to receive the COPR, but after 7-8 months of silence it feels surreal to get this many updates so quickly. I almost don't even believe it's real.

Fingers crossed everyone still waiting gets things moving too!

Hello. Does anyone knows if London Visa Office, UK is processing spousal sponsorship applications? If yes, then any idea which months of applications they are processing?
Please advise. Thanks you.

I have been waiting for close to 8 months and no update - Last time, they requested a bunch of forms which I provided.

Congratulations!!! Did you ask help from MP?

No, no help on anything from anyone. I'm American and we just waited things out. Things just moved very quickly the last month.

When did u receive dm???

No idea! I checked ECAS on Oct 13th and it said Decision Made, but showed no details. It didn't update on GCKey until after my passport request was received around Halloween. Everything just updated at once on there to show I was approved.

You can travel if you meet the travel exemptions. If you do not then you definitely meet the family reunification criteria, for which you may have to seek an authorisation letter.

I don't believe authorisation letter required for those with immediate family members in Canada who are citizens, PRs, or those under Indian Act:

"You do not need a written authorization from us confirming that you’re exempt from the travel restrictions."
